HST
Overview for Gymnastics BC Member Clubs
HST is
not a new tax – it has the same general rules and tax base as GST.
However there are some differences.
It is federally administered by CRA (one return/one
administration/one audit)
All GST/HST is reported to CRA on GST/HST return, revenue then
allocated between federal and provincial governments.
Reduced compliance (one return, one audit, no exemption
certificates, and no dealing with PST complexities.
How will
this change affect your club? Please review the overview provided by Gymnastics BC.
